MIR. Monroe Hagamau, who resides
about one mile this side of Ringoes, has
just completed extensive improvements
in the way of new out-buildings, which
makes his farm far more valuable than
before, and everybody in this section
knows that he owns one of the best farms
to be found in Hrnterdon county. Among
the out-buildings are two large barns,
which adjoin each other and thus give
the appearance of one massive building.
Inside these barns will be found all the
necessary appointments required-a place
for everything, and you will always find
everything in its place. These buildings
are nicely painted and the towers thereon
are capped with two large bronze eagles.
The grounds surrounding are kept clean
and in the best of order at all times. A
beautiful and unique fence fronts the
dwelling house, and here, too, everything
is furnished in substantial manner and
the household duties are presided over
by Mr.. Hagaman's sister. What is sell
dom found elsewhere, is that on this
farm are two streams Of water, one run
ming direct to the Raritan river on the
east and the other to the Delaware river
on the west. Mr.. Hagaman is model
farmer, and while he is determined to
have the best of everything that is needed
to make farming a success, and enjoys
life in contented manner, he is not
afraid of work, and makes full hand
the year round. AS for hospitality, we
know what we are talking about when
we say that Mr.. and Miss Hagaman are
No. in this line, and the latch-string is
always in easy reach of their numerous
friends. S.B.

Appalling Marine Disaster OFF New Found

Appalling Marine Disaster OFF New Found
land-Ehirty Lives Lost.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., May 4.-The first
news reched here last night of an sp-
palling marine disaster that occurred at
southwest point of Channer harbor, to the
eastward of Cape Ray, late Saturday
night. Shortly after midnight the in
hahitants of the neighboring shore were
aroused from their slumbeTs by the sound
of the steamships horn. They peered
through the rain and fog to locate the
position of the blowing steamer. Pres
emily rockets were observed shooting to-
wards the heaven ia rapid succession,
showing that the unknown craft was in
need OF assistance. The vessel YVES only
about 400 yards from the land, but a
heavy gale and tremendous sea pre-
vented boats from being gent to the
rescue. Torches and tar barrels were
burned along the beach, and bells
were sounded in order to give
the imperiled people some idea
of their position, but beyond
this, it was absolutely impossible TO make
any attempt to aid the vessel. The sig.
mails made on shore could be seen on
cries from those in distress were borne
in on the gale. About $3.50 O'Clock, about
two hours after the alarm was first given,
the ship made q plunge and disappeared
beneath the sea. The storm continued
till daybreak when it subsidized sufficiently
to allow boats to put off to the scene of
the nights catastrophe. Plenty Of
Wreckage was found floating about, from
which the Inflated steamer wSs found to
be the John Knox, Captain Broly, from
Glasgow bound TO Quebec with cargo
OF iron, liquors and brick. The bodies
of the Captain and fifteen OF the crew
have been recovered. One of the latter
has been identified by certificate of dis
charge found in his coat pocket as that Of
tbef fireman John Mcclure. as the
stRames had crew of about thirty there
are over dozen bodies still missing.

analrzing The Batting Powders.

Under the direction OF the New York
state board OF health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
aII the brands that could be founds for
sale in the state, were submitted to .eX-
animation and analysis by Prof. c, F.
Chahdler, member of the state board
and president of the New York City board
of health, assisted by Professor Edward
G. Lave, the Well-knOWn United States
government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found TO contain alumni or lime; many of
them to such an extent as to.render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the
preparation OF human fOods
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The pre-
sence of lime is attributed to the impure
cream Of tartar of commerce used in their
manufacture. Such cream Of tartar was
also analysed and found to contain lime
and other imppritles-in some samples to
the extent of 9a1per cent, of their entire
weight.
All the baking powders of the market
| with the single exception of "Roval" (not
| includingithe aluaand phosphate powders
which were long since discarded as IN.
safe or inefficient by prudent housekeep-
ers) are made from the impure cream OF
tartar Of commerce, and consequently
| contain lime toa corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
| chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the "Royal.'
This perfect purity results from the ex-
elusive use CT cream of tartar special,
refined and prepared by patent processe!
which totally remove the tartrete of linz
and other Impurities. The cost Of tni
chemically pure cream of tartar is mucl
| greater than any other, and on account =
| this greater cost is used in no bakins
powder but the Royal"
Professor Love, who made the analyst
of baking powders for the New YorI
state board of health, as well SIS for TIT
government, says of the purity ant
WhoIesomeness of the 'Royal:n
"E have tested package of Roya
Baking Powder, which purchased III tn

pure and wholesome ingredients. 1T is
cream Of tartar powder OF & high degre
of merit, and does not contain ei6he
alum or phosphates or any injurious SUB
stance. E. G. LOVE, Phi. D -
